Chapter 877: The New Project of Thrilling Hostel
The protagonist Qin Yi is not a child full of sympathy, but a soldier with a clear mind and a hard heart.
Affected by the hive consciousness, he naturally feels closeness and sympathy to the Zerg race, but he can use his own reason to resist and resist this feeling of closeness, deceive the Zerg race without hesitation, and order the entire Zerg race to be exterminated. The behavior that the protagonist should make from the perspective of Huaxia.
Of course, this also makes the final ending even more ironic.
If it is a Madonna protagonist who calls for peaceful coexistence with the Zerg, and ends up on the side of the Zerg, the audience will only think that he is a "human traitor" and an idiot, and they will not have any good feelings for him.
But Qin Yi was completely on the human side, but was betrayed by accident and forced to become the master of the Zerg, which made it difficult for the audience to feel disgusted with him.
Therefore, if Lu Zhiyao were to evaluate this movie, he would think that there are three places in this movie that are special enough.
First of all, it reinterprets a classic sci-fi theme from a Chinese cultural perspective. For domestic audiences, this is a story that makes most people feel that their values are consistent with themselves.
Secondly, such a huge investment and such a large number of special effects shots have pushed domestic sci-fi movies to a peak. No matter whether it wins or loses at the box office, at least it will leave a strong mark in the history of domestic sci-fi movies.
Finally, this special form of expression is obviously different from other movies, and it is a very novel attempt.
The main actor in the whole movie is only Lu Zhiyao. If his acting skills collapse, then the movie will also collapse; A performance with varying degrees will become a classic in film history.
There are no exterior scenes and all are green screens. Although the cost of shooting has greatly increased, it is also a way to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
In the current domestic situation, there are many companies that do game special effects with good technology, while there are few companies that do movie special effects with poor technology. Moreover, Tenda Group itself has more technical reserves in games.
That being the case, I deliberately didn't do so many real scenes, just a space capsule, a circle of green screens, and all actual combat scenes are done with special effects, which can ensure the maximum effect.
In addition, Lu Zhiyao also vaguely felt that this movie was inextricably linked to the gameplay of the game "Mission and Choice".
It's just that Lu Zhiyao himself is not a hard-core game player, and he knows only a little about the game, and he doesn't know anything about the details of the game "Mission and Choice", so he can only wait for the game to be released and the movie to be released. Figure out the connection between the two.
After reading the last script, Lu Zhiyao was even more sure that he got the movie right.
Think about it too, can Mr. Pei's film have problems? All are sure to be classics!
If the previous "Beautiful Tomorrow" was a sci-fi film that actually talked about human nature and social systems, then "Mission and Choice" is a serious sci-fi film.
Moreover, this sci-fi film has put forward higher requirements for Lu Zhiyao's acting skills. If he can act well, then Lu Zhiyao will definitely go one step further on the road to becoming a best actor!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao felt energetic all over, and continued to hone his acting skills in front of the mirror.

Monday, February 6.
After Pei Qian got up and had breakfast, he took the car and went straight to the Jingpal Hotel.
Today is Lantern Festival, but Lantern Festival is not a statutory holiday, so there is no holiday. However, Pei Qian specifically told Moyu to add Lantern Festival to the employees' work meals, which can be regarded as a special holiday care.
Today, when Pei Qian went to Jingpal Hostel, he had a big job to hand over to Chen Kangtuo.
The Palpitation Hostel was completed in July last year, and it has three projects: Escape, Haunted House, and Ultimate Horror.
After the opening, Mr. Li and others carried out a wave of publicity in Jingzhou and even Handong Province, Zhang Wang carried out a wave of publicity through shared telephone booths across the country, and a wave of publicity with videos of various UP owners, and in "Pei After the "Total Lifestyle" fire, many people also came to Jingzhou to challenge this thrilling project.
In short, as a haunted house, Thriller Hostel is already famous all over the country. Speaking of haunted houses in Jingzhou and even the entire Handong Province, everyone’s first reaction is the Horror Hostel, and many young people came from other cities to experience it specially.
But half a year has passed, and the passenger flow of Jingpal Hostel has also dropped, and there is still a long way to go before recovering the initial investment in construction costs.
The most fundamental reason is that there is no cluster effect.
Large-scale amusement parks often have dozens or dozens of projects, not only haunted houses, but also extreme and exciting projects such as roller coasters and giant pendulums, as well as relatively soothing projects suitable for children such as carousels.
These large-scale amusement parks are suitable for all ages, and they can play many projects at one time, attracting more tourists.
Although the project of Palpitation Hostel is very interesting, and compared with other haunted houses, it also has a certain replayability, but the first wave of horror lovers will get tired of visiting three or four times at most, and will not come every day.
Therefore, the heat will naturally drop.
Pei Qian felt that this was a good sign.
After half a year of opening, I look back at the project of Jingpal Hostel. Although it can make money at present, it is still far away to recover the initial investment cost. It may take several years, ten years or even longer.
Now that Pei Qian has more and more funds for the system, he can almost continue to build and burn a sum of money in the Jingpal Hotel.
...
Pei Qian came to the office in the Jingpal Hotel Park and met Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong.
It's Monday morning, and there are not many tourists in the whole park of Thrilling Hostel. Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong are in the office, busy with some daily affairs.
After becoming the person in charge of the Palpitation Hostel, Chen Kangtuo didn't go to the haunted house every day. In addition to maintaining the normal operation of the Palpitation Hostel and dealing with some emergencies, his main energy was focused on continuing to improve the tourist experience. .
Although the completion of these three projects is already very high, there is still room for improvement in some details, and some buildings and decorations in the site also have room for further improvement.
Chen Kangtuo stayed in the Jingpal Hostel all day long, and he was almost as familiar with the place as his own backyard. When he had nothing to do, he proposed some small repairs.
Therefore, so far, the experience of Thrilling Hostel for tourists is much better than when it first opened.
Seeing Mr. Pei, Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were a little excited.
Mr. Pei has not forgotten us!
Mr. Pei has not been here for half a year since the Jingpal Hotel officially opened. If it weren't for the huge investment in this place, Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong would almost have thought that they were Mr. Pei's abandoned sons.
Now that Boss Pei is finally here, he obviously has a new mission!
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa in the office, took a sip of tea, and didn't intend to play tricks, and went straight to the topic.
"There's nothing special about coming here today, I just arranged a new job for you."
"I'll give you 100 million funds and a one-year construction period to build a new project at the Shocking Hostel."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
100 million funds? ?
Both of them fell into a daze.
Because Tenda Group has only invested 50 to 60 million in the Jingpai Hotel so far, and it is still in the case of three projects!
The three projects of Escape, Nightmare, and Ultimate Horror, including the Golden Labyrinth and Maid Cafe in the park, all used the original factory buildings, so they mainly remodeled and set the scenery in the factory buildings.
Tens of millions is enough to create a top-notch horror effect.
As for the supporting facilities around the three projects, they are all paid by President Li and the others.
It used to cost 50 to 60 million for three projects, but now it costs 100 million for one project?
The cost and construction period of this project are much higher than the previous three projects!
What kind of project is this?
Chen Kangtuo tentatively asked: "Boss Pei, is the house to be built this time still a haunted house?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "No."
When Pei Qian decided to build a haunted house, he mainly had two purposes: one was to lose money, and the other was to scare Ruan Guangjian.
But in the current state of the Thrilling Hostel, neither of the two goals has been achieved!
The second goal failed in particular. Not only did Ruan Guangjian not be scared, but he had a great time playing in "Ultimate Horror".
If we build a new haunted house, wouldn't it be cheaper for this kid?
Moreover, the greater the investment in the haunted house, the more likely it will attract horror lovers from all over the world.
Palpitation Hostel is already well-known among horror lovers. If it spends another 100 million to build a new haunted house project, its scale will probably catch up to the super-large haunted house like Wushan Mental Hospital, and become the largest in China. The haunted house project, the consequences are disastrous.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Pei Qian decided to put aside the matter of the haunted house and spend the 100 million yuan on other projects.
The reason for setting such a high budget is mainly because of the long construction period.
This project will span two cycles, nearly a year, who knows how much money will be made in this year? Set the budget a bit higher, so as to save time and money in a surprise attack.
Chen Kangtuo heaved a sigh of relief when Mr. Pei said that it was not a haunted house project.
fine!
Because the three haunted house projects of the Palpitation Hostel have almost squeezed out the ideas of him and Hao Qiong. If we spend another 100 million to build a haunted house, it will at most be a large haunted house like the Wushan Mental Hospital. There must be something new.
To do other projects, it is also good to enrich the entertainment types of Jingpal Hostel.
Chen Kangtuo asked: "Boss Pei, what project are you going to do this time?"
Pei Qian had already thought about it a long time ago, and immediately replied: "A roller coaster, but it's not a traditional roller coaster."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were confused and continued to listen carefully.
